Commack, New York: CBR Research Books, Inc., 1992. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. 144 pages. Illustrations. Some curving of back cover. Includes Introduction; Bibliography; Black and White Maps; Map Sources, Camps, Forts, Barracks, etc. This is an unofficial listing compiled from a variety of official and unofficial sources. Its primary goal is to provide a guide, with locations, to named United States Army forts, camps, airfields, cantonments, redoubts, and batteries that were established between the time of the United States Army's organization (September 29, 1798) and the end of World War II, in 1945. No deliberate attempt has been made to include the equivalent facilities operated by other military services, nor unnamed United States Army facilities, nor short-term bivouac or encampment areas or battlefield posts. This is an exhaustive reference guide to more than 5,400 named American forts, camps, air fields, redoubts, batteries, and cantonments. These range from stockade forts employed by the early settlers for their own protection, to those captured from others and put to use by our own forces. It includes forts and outposts on our western frontiers, training camps, early flying fields, WWII fields of the Army Air Corps, and everything else. Included in this book are many illustrations, plus a listing of some of the personalities whose names have been applied to army forts and camps. Incorporated into the facilities listings is the wealth of listing data compiled by Francis B. Heitman (1903), thus making this the most well-rounded and virtually complete reference ever compiled of these facilities in the period covered. More

A shattering, first hand report of America`s self-inflicted defeats overseas, notably Vietnam, where we are losing at every level while being told we are winning. Hard evidence that self-deception and ignorance are now our greatest national problem. The author was the co-author of The Ugly American. William Julius Lederer, Jr. (March 31, 1912 – December 5, 2009) was an American author and naval officer. He was a US Naval Academy graduate in 1936. His first appointment was as the junior officer of the USS Tutuila, a river gunboat on the Yangtze River. His best selling work, 1958's The Ugly American, was one of several novels co-written with Eugene Burdick. Disillusioned with the style and substance of America's diplomatic efforts in Southeast Asia, Lederer and Burdick openly sought to demonstrate their belief that American officials and civilians could make a substantial difference in Southeast Asian politics if they were willing to learn local languages, follow local customs and employ regional military tactics.

Peyton Conway March (December 27, 1864 – April 13, 1955) was a United States Army officer who served as Chief of Staff of the United States Army from 1918 until 1921.

He participated as part of General Wheaton's expedition in battles at San Fabian, Buntayan Bridge and San Jacinto.

In March 1918, he became acting Army Chief of Staff and was made Army Chief of Staff on May 20, 1918. As Chief of Staff he reorganized the Army structure, and abolished the distinctions between the Regular Army, the Army Reserves, and the Army National Guard during wartime. He created new technical branches in the service including the United States Army Air Corps, Chemical Warfare Service, Transportation Corps, and Tank Corps. He also centralized control over supply. He supervised the demobilization of the Army. March was a highly efficient and capable administrator who did much to modernize the American Army and prepare it for combat in the First World War. More
